Chapter 6: The World After 2500

Ignoring the awkwardly expressioned Huang Guoqiang, the delicate-looking woman named Xiaoli turned her gaze to the back seat where Tu Hao was sitting and began to engage in casual conversation with him, "Little brother, what is your name?"

Feeling the gaze of his teammates, the man pondered for a moment and said: "It is no problem to take you part of the way, however, we currently have a task at hand and will not be returning for the time being. Will you come with us, or will you wait here until we complete our mission and bring you back with us?"

Well, little one, since you want to join us, I must remind you in advance that if we encounter any irresistible danger along the way, we will not take risks for your sake. Therefore, you need to take responsibility for your own protection.

In this regard, Tu Hao also understands very well. Moreover, he is quite confident about preserving his life. If he were to encounter an irresistible danger, he could simply take refuge in the base.

Squeak

The level of danger in this task is still considerable, and it is clearly inappropriate to bring along Tu Hao, who is a burden. Therefore, the best choice is to leave Tu Hao in the car

Brother Huang

Well

Subsequently, after a period of preparation, Huang Guoqiang and others, fully armed, proceeded deep into the jungle. After everyone had left, Tu Hao also got out of the vehicle, opened his tactical watch, and began scanning the nearby vegetation. Tu Hao's tactical watch is equipped with outdoor survival functions, allowing it to scan for edible plants and animals as well as valuable medicinal herbs in the wild.

No problem

After all, they had only met Tu Hao by chance, and it was already very kind of them to take along Tu Hao, who was a burden. As for taking risks for Tu Hao, they would absolutely not do that

As he saw the crowd returning, Tu Hao, who was in the car, was about to speak. However, at that moment, Huang Guoqiang dashed into the driver's seat, quickly started the car, and then accelerated madly, racing towards the edge of the jungle.

Ding! Detoxifying herbs discovered

Huang Guoqiang and Cheng Li have both undergone changes, and Tu Hao has naturally sensed this. As a result, Tu Hao feels a sense of guilt in his heart, after all, he has deceived them.

Sister Xiaoli, my name is Tu Hao. In response to the inquiry from the graceful young woman, Tu Hao replied sweetly

In addition to this, Tu Hao is more informed about the situation of this team. This is a hunting team that survives by hunting various mutated beasts. The driver, Huang Guoqiang, is the captain, and the elegant woman in the passenger seat is Cheng Li, Huang Guoqiang's wife. The three individuals in the back of the vehicle are their comrades who have fought alongside them through life and death.

From the information gathered, Tu Hao quickly fabricated a background for himself, stating that his parents were also part of the hunting team. However, they unfortunately lost their lives during a hunting expedition, leaving Tu Hao all alone. In order to survive, Tu Hao thus ventured into the jungle by himself

Upon hearing about Tu Hao's background, Huang Guoqiang and Cheng Li couldn't help but feel a sense of lament. As members of the hunting team, they were naturally aware of the associated risks. Consequently, both of them couldn't help but develop a sense of affection for Tu Hao.

Cough cough

Together, together

"Tu Hao, little brother, stay in the car and don't run around. We will be back as soon as we finish our task." Cheng Li said as she pushed Tu Hao, who was about to get out of the car, back inside.

Soon, the tactical watch emitted a crisp 'beep beep' sound, indicating that the nearby resources were still quite abundant. The only unfortunate aspect was that the tactical watch did not contain information about these herbs, thus it could only roughly scan the effects of these herbs, while specific names and origins could not be identified.

How is it? Not bad, right? This is the second model of the Tianhe Company's Demon Slayer series rocket launcher. Although it is just a second-hand item, it is definitely easy to handle for dealing with ordinary F-class mutated beasts." The man driving, slightly pleased, said as he noticed Tu Hao's gaze fixed on the rocket launcher behind the car through the rearview mirror

Sasha

At the moment of Tu Hao's concern, suddenly, a rustling sound came from the distant bushes. Then, a disheveled Huang Guoqiang and others burst out from the thicket. At this moment, all the equipment on them had disappeared, and each person carried only a bulging backpack.

Tu Hao nodded knowingly, though he had no real understanding of the quality of this thing. However, in order to avoid raising suspicion about his background by speaking too much, he could only try to play along.

The words of the graceful young woman caused Huang Guoqiang to reveal a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Xiao Li, please don't be angry. Although it was 'slightly' more expensive when we bought it, this is merely a necessary investment in the early stage. With it, we will gain more income in the future."

However, in response to Huang Guoqiang's explanation, the delicate young woman named Xiaoli did not pay any attention. The slightly higher price mentioned by Huang Guoqiang was not truly just a little; it completely indicated that someone was being treated as a fool to be taken advantage of.

At the moment when Tu Haoxin felt guilty, Huang Guoqiang suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop. "There is no road ahead; we can only walk from here," Huang Guoqiang said, looking at the jungle ahead, littered with rubble and decayed wood.

Among them, the most shocking news to Tu Hao was that this world was still the same world he originally knew, but the only difference was that it was the world 2500 years later. At that moment, Tu Hao finally understood why there were handguns, Chinese characters, and familiar languages appearing here

Hmph

Upon seeing this, Tu Hao could only nod helplessly

Tu Hao hurriedly said. Having finally found someone, Tu Hao did not want to miss this opportunity

Ding! Hemostatic herbs discovered

Upon seeing the signal from Hao, the group immediately got back into the vehicle and drove deeper into the jungle

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. At this moment, Tu Hao had already collected all the valuable herbs in the vicinity. However, Huang Guoqiang and the others had yet to return, which made Tu Hao somewhat worried about whether they had encountered any danger.

As the attention of the elegant young woman turned to Tu Hao, Huang Guoqiang naturally did not dare to speak much and focused on driving his car. During this time, Tu Hao also gathered a considerable amount of information while conversing with the elegant young woman

Sitting in the car, Tu Hao's gaze was naturally drawn to the weapons and ammunition loaded in the vehicle. Moreover, among them, Tu Hao also spotted a rocket launcher and several silver-colored rockets

Of course, in addition to the familiar, there are also the unknown, such as the mouse that is comparable in size to a calf and the mantis that can block bullets. It is evident that something significant must have occurred over these 2,500 years. However, at present, Tu Hao does not dare to ask too many questions and can only wait to learn more after leaving the jungle

Huang Guoqiang, how can you still have the face to say that for this thing, you made us eat pickled radishes and vegetables for half a year?" As soon as the man finished speaking, the elegant woman in the passenger seat raised her eyebrows and glared at the man driving, saying

As soon as Tu Hao's voice fell, the gazes of the several individuals immediately turned towards the man who had first noticed Tu Hao. Clearly, among this five-person team, that man should be the leader.
